After Action Report
In Houston, the Nuggets handled the Rockets 99-87. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Nuggets. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
